Answer 1

authentic tea tree oil

Answer 2

Eating Honey that is produced by local Bees using the local pollen helps build immunity

Answer 3

If your allergy is to pollen, then get some honey from a local farmer (it must be made locally) and have some everyday.  My friend puts it on a piece of bread.  That will help increase your resistance to pollen type irritants.

Answer 4

The Yoga Pranayam (breathing exercises) will  help with allergy  problems.

Build up your timing gradually. If you feel tired or dizzy, stop and resume after 1 minute.

Bhastrika - Take a long deep breath into the lungs(chest not tummy) via the nose and then completely breathe out through the nose. Duration upto 5 minutes.

Anulom Vilom –

Close your right nostril with thumb and deep breath-in through left nostril  

then – close left nostril with two fingers and breath-out through right nostril  

then -keeping the left nostril closed  deep breath-in through right nostril

then - close your right nostril with thumb and breath-out through left nostril.

This is one cycle of anulom vilom.

Repeat this cycle for 20 to 30  minutes twice a day(maximum 60 minutes in one day).

You can do this before breakfast/lunch/dinner or before bedtime or in bed.Remember to take deep long breaths into the lungs.You can do this while sitting on floor or chair or lying in bed.



Bhramri Pranayam -Close eyes. Close ears with thumb, index finger on forehead, and rest three fingers on base of nose touching eyes. Breathe in through nose. And now breathe out through nose while humming like a bee.

Duration : 5 to 12  times

Kapalbhati -(Do it before eating) Push air forcefully out through the nose about once per second. Stomach will itself go in(contract in). The breathing in(through the nose) will happen automatically. Establish a rhythm and do for 20 to 30 minutes twice a day.(Max 60 min/day) Not for pregnant women. Seriously ill people do it gently.

Once you are better, continue the pranayam once a day.

Be patient, as the benefits will show over a period of months.Only by doing you will benefit

and feel good because you are helping your body.Those who say I have tried everything....

will be amazed at the result of doing pranayam.

Answer 5

Honey is great for a sore throat, and so is tea.  Spicy food, like anything with those red chilis in kung pao chicken, wasabi, or chinese mustard are especially great for almost anything else.
